WATCH PARTY: Sixteen EP9

OMG. I totally missed that part where JYP really did give critiques/encouraging words to those that she think would suit "Twice"

Shine

Jiwonnn 🥲 She's now in Fromis_9 ,, And yes today finally they got their 1st win after 3 years of debut ,, I'm so happy for them especially her ,, To think that after this she joined another survival show (Idol School) to debut is crazy

Boboiboy vs Ejen Ali

Not really, Momo was already out by then. But they are in the center of the press release photos, though.

Nana-san

Did you notice that the with that male host in the middle - all the twice members were surrounding him in order already even before they started Round 1 (:

ughhtwice

As I read getting into Twice few years ago; Jihyo was criticized for being “fat.” I mean, I get it, it’s not the perfect body to have and I think JYP was really harsh for saying that even after now being known to take care of his idols, to some extent. Crazy to think we’re finally here being one episode away even though we all know who made It in lol Interesting dynamic having the minor choosing one major, and yes it was no surprise it was Jihyo, she had the perfect balance what they needed vs Minyoung & Chaeyoung. Interesting enough, the songs are actually in their debut album. Ahhhh final episode next 😭

Your journey with TWICE brings me to throwback too it's heartwarming and makes me appreciate and being proud of TWICE more and more! Keep it up Thina, your videos are becoming a comfort video for me >,<

Thina you should check out Jiwon in Fromis_9! She’s one of the main vocals in there. I think you’d really enjoy their title tracks “We Go” and “Love Bomb”

I wouldn’t call her average. She’s the main vocalist of fromis_9! And many of their songs have received lots of love

Wait, Minyoung is a Youtuber now?? What's her channel? She was literally my favorite contestant on the show, so I'd love to see what she's been up to. ^^

Jeongyeon just casually pointing at Tzuyu is one my favorite moments in the entire show xD

The Asian Theory has a good video on Sixteen in Youtube. Most successful survival show with 13 alumni now in the industry. Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu in Twice. Somi in IOI before becoming a soloist. Jiwon in Fromis_9. Chaeryeong in Itzy. Chaeyeon in I*zone and will probably debut as a soloist. Natty as a soloist. Minyoung finished her studies before becoming a Youtuber. Not quite sure with Eunseo.

I second this :)

I am soooo excited to see your reaction to the final episode, can't wait until saturday! There is a scene where we get to see the members with their families and it's just the cutest thing ever

It's pretty clear from the beginning of this episode that the major/minor split no longer means anything. The competition now is among all the girls to get into the top grouping, which was supposed to be 7 at this point.

I was sad about Jiwon but when I heard she was in Fromis 9 I was happy, until I watched Fromis 9. I didn't recognize her and I've watch their MV's a few times and I still can't see her. In other words she's been made over, squashed into the mold of a cute girl group member and made to sing so she doesn't stand out. She was very distinctive in Sixteen and could have been a star. Now she's just an average girl group member. It's a shame.

Mr Jackpots

Like others have said, Jiwon went on to debut in Fromis_9, which resulted from the Idol School survival show (name constructed from "from Idol School, 9 members"). Eunseo and Natty also competed but didn't debut. Given that Fromis_9 is among my favorite currently active groups, I want to see about checking out the show, but I hear the girls weren't treated very well, and that's not even getting into the usual MNET rigging scandal. FWIW, their latest single "We Go" still reigns as my personal pick for 2021 Song of the Summer so far.

I still get chills during the first chorus of "Going Crazy" because it really feels like they're an established group. Looking forward to the final episode to wrap up the Benjamin Button Twice Journey!

Check out We Go or Feel Good from fromis_9 sometime, and see how Jiwon shines in a vocal-centric group.

Also, Somi was in a group called I.O.I. That group was formed from a survival show called Produce 101. It was part of their contract to only exist for 1 year (I don't know why). She was the center for that group.

Edweirdo

Fun Fact: all the songs that they will be singing for their live performance are all songs from their first mini album the story begins which is where like you all took place and they all have dance practices you should check it out

Laila Cheyenne

I was waiting for this episode soooo much, but I also understand your struggle with connection. It happens..to most of us at some point xD Hope you can find a good solution for you, but it's totally ok for us to just wait a little bit ;) You know how the old saying goes - All goods things come to those who wait. :) To answer your question - Jiwon now is in a group called Fromis_9, so you can check it out as well ;) Another journey of Sixteen-eliminated-contestants would as well be checking out Natty's solo releases.

Laura Bekere

Jiwon is an idol in a group called fromis_9. They debuted in 2017

SUP MY CAPTAINs+CREWs! Goodness, this video upload was total CHAOS. Not sure how many of y’all follow me on Twitter, so I’ll give a quick update here: I’ve been having MAJOR connection problems with my internet (Xfinity). My reaction to SOMI’s M/V on Youtube, which is only an 800+ MB file, took TWO HOURS AND 43 MINUTES to upload… I talked to Vimeo first, thinking it was my subscription issue, but everything was normal on their end. I noticed that my wifi kept cutting in an out every 1-2 hour interval and it would be out for at least half an hour before it would repeat that cycle. Turns out it’s because I’m using way more data than before due to how much work I’m doing. I still don’t understand why it would slow down though, but I’ve heard enough about Xfinity to currently be in the process of cancelling my service with them and hopping on to Fiber instead. I’ve heard a LOT of good things about Fiber from my friends in the technology/streaming field, so WHEW… no more 2-3hr upload time for a small-sized video anymore. However, that process will take a bit to get done, so I ended up driving to a Starbucks near my place to use their public wifi to upload this LOLLL. (Don’t worry, this location is literally 0.7 miles away so it’s SUPER close. Plus, I don’t mind grabbing a caramel macchiato :p). Thank y’all so much for being patient with me on this one! And please disregard the moment in the video where I mention it was Sunday hahaha- little did I know that this upload bs was going to want to fight me…
